What Are Character Strengths?

Character strengths are the positive parts of your personality that describe you at your best. There are 24 character strengths, and while you have all 24, there are 5 that you use most regularly – your signature strengths. Research shows that when people are aware of and using their strengths they are better able and more likely to achieve their goals and overcome challenges!
